Untitled 7 (Luminous Ladder)

This work stages a quiet confrontation between order and abrasion: horizontal bands of ochre and ember pulse like warning lights seen through grit, while a central vertical scar of black-and-white accumulates into a spine of erasures. The surface feels weathered and industrial, its speckled texture insisting on time’s pressure—what once read as clean structure now appears corroded, revised, and re-lived. In the tension between luminous stripes and soot-dark interruptions, the painting suggests a coded passageway—part barrier, part beacon—where illumination is earned through disturbance rather than clarity.
